do you remember when the first attacks happened in benghazi? i said to myself, it seems like yesterday that geraldo rivera was hailed as a hero as he reported on benghazi and they were chanting pro american slogans. holding up our flag proudly. >> gretchen: and accidentally shooting at him. that's the video i remember. >> brian: not in benghazi when he initially landed. >> gretchen: come on over. get a jump start on your morning. come on over. what was it like then and what is it like now in your mind? >> well, obviously having come close to death there it's a vivid memory and if you recall, i was very dubious of the so-called revolutionaries. i told people and i think you agreed with me, be careful what you wish for. here you have a group of anarchists, militias with their own agendas and i believe that there was no control. i thought that it was more dangerous, the good guys were more of a threat to my health and safety -- >> brian: you were yelling at them? >> yelling, trying to get them to have some kind of control. they kept all the weapon
